Product Innovations

Yottaa announced a number of product innovations in 2015, improving the automated delivery, acceleration, and security capabilities of its cloud-native platform with deeper machine learning capabilities, while dramatically increasing actionable insights for its customers with integrated real-time analytics. Yottaa’s platform provides unprecedented levels of optimization abilities from infrastructure, to the cloud, to the end user’s browser without code or infrastructure change.

Today, the company is announcing a number of additional improvements to its real-time analytics capabilities including:

Additional intelligence in its ContextAgent™ in-browser library to mitigate client-side ad and content blocking technologies, as well as aggressive and/or malicious traffic. ContextAgent can now detect and remediate threats and challenges to ensure an optimal user experience within 200 milliseconds, greatly improving a company’s ability to deliver consistently fast and secure experiences to its customers.

Tighter integration between real-time insight and security actions through one-click integrations with the ContextSAFE™ layered edge, web application firewall (WAF), and in-browser security offering. With its latest release, Yottaa is closing the loop between the detection and alerting of cyber security anomalies, threats and security operations actions to throttle, block, or redirect traffic to keep data and infrastructure safe and secure.

“We set very ambitious goals for 2015 in order to take Yottaa to the next level. These goals included consistently signing large enterprise customers, investing in sales to drive revenue growth, and continuing to deliver technology innovation to the market,” said Vick Viren Vaishnavi, President and CEO of Yottaa. “Yottaa had a fantastic 2015 having signed several “household name” customers such as eBags and King Arthur Flour, launching strategic partnerships with eCommerce industry leaders Demandware and Netsuite, and announcing several new product innovations, such as Yottaa ImpactAnalytics and ContextSAFE. And the new product enhancements we are announcing today are just the start of a very exciting 2016 for the company.”
